Water planning group to meet

A special meeting of Groundwater Management Area 9 will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the Upper Guadalupe River Authority in Kerrville to review new computer models that depict future groundwater availability in the region.

Groundwater conservation districts across Texas are required to participate in designating “desired future conditions” for aquifers over the next 50 years.

Those figures, due for submission by Sept. 1, will be used in establishing plans that will likely regulate groundwater pumping.
